FPB's

Anyone try the new Hornady 300gr FPB out on deer?

Can't say I have but was thinking about it. I shoot the 250 gr shockwaves and have yet to have a deer go over 5 yards when I have hit them with one. Hate to move from what has worked but the "What is better" in me takes over.

they are good just dont push them to fast

Are you saying anything over a 100grains to be fast?

[rock]

yep you can use 150 grains but close shot they may frag . when a bullet frags there is usally no exit hole hard to find blood. most gun barrels are to short to burn 150grain of powder

Best accuracy with most loads runs between 80 and 110 gr.

I have been using a 100gr of T7 pellets or 80grains of Black Horn.I have not seen any Hornaday FPB fragment,nothing but good results with them.Both the newer 300gr and the older 350gr...Good to hear keeping the charge low..Some people use the magnum charge {150 for pellets } but there really is no need for that.

Now Power Belts fragmenting on the other hand,happens all the time.
